Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Leigh Curtis Like mother, like daughter. Eighteen years after Psycho, Leighs daughter was crowned the Queen of Scream in John Carpenters landmark horror film Halloween as Laurie Strode, a teenage girl who is being stalked by Michael Myers (Nick Castle), an insane young man who had stabbed his teenager sister to death when he was just 6 years old. He escapes from a mental institution and returns to his hometown, where he sets his sites on Laurie and some of her friends. Curtis, who was all of 19, was paid $8,000 for her role. Curtis later appeared in Halloween II, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and Halloween: Resurrection. In 1980, she made three horror films: The Fog, also directed by Carpenter, Prom Night and Terror Train. By 1983, though, Curtis successfully broke out of the Scream Queen mold with her comedic performance in Trading Places." Decibel level: 9
